There will be an F-18 start that has been arranged with the regatta organizers. We expect at least 10 boats just from Vancouver (including 3 or 4 tigers).

If you want to race in an open fleet, I would suggest contacting Jericho as I do not believe they are planning on running one. It would be great if there were an H16, 17 and 18 starts, but you need to organize your fleets. (Similarly the Seattle NOOD)

This event is run by the Jericho Laser Fleet and has not traditionally included cats, though we did make sure of an F-18 start. I expect there will only be Laser, Radial, Tasar and F-18 starts.

If anyone is looking for a place to stay for the weekend let me know. We have a couple of extra beds as well as lots of floor space. We even have a built in alarm as the kids are up by 7:00

Mike, I think we should ask the RC to start everyone together to keep things going. If there aren't too many X-class, we should also try to score everyone together. We can always break out the F-18s later.

hey everybody,
so it looks like we won't be bringing the 18SX over since the ferries would cost us $400! rather use that money to make the boat faster.
I still want to come over and race since it sounds like it will be an awesome regatta. so for those that don't know me here's a bit about myself.
I started racing hobies out of comox when I was 13(I'm 20 now), bought a 14 and a 16 both of which I have had to sell sadly. taught sailing at kelowna yacht club and deep cove yacht club, certified as a head instructor.
have been racing and sailing cats, dinghys and skiffs of all sorts.. racing on keelboats, most recently a hobie 33. sailing on the hobie 18SX right now and did harrison last year on Jerry V's tiger. I can do anything you need on a cat. I already have accomadations and transportation worked out.
so does anybody need last minute experienced crew or know somebody that is stuck on the beach with no crew?
send me an email at seamus_wg@hotmail.comThanks
